Hi,

I've been working with an under-powered PowerMax storage system (or perhaps just too much historical junk), and the CSI driver on my OpenShift cluster keeps timing out with `context deadline exceeded`. There are good days and bad days, but to work on the code for functionality, I wonder if I can make my CSI driver more forgiving for slower responses from the Unisphere.

I've seen it happen when getting the initiators list, renaming the host, mounting an already-bound PV for a pod, and more. I'd love to clean up or add more RAM to the PowerMax/Unisphere and make it more performant, but if that can't happen, can somebody here suggest a proper way to make my CSI driver/attacher more forgiving/lenient with slowness?

 

thanks, - Hiro
